Some Reality Web

After finally figuring out a charm I've been trying to get right, I've been able to finish something I've been working on and wanted to let everyone know. I've added a small labyrinth garden on the edge of the new forest, as a sort-of memorial garden, that I think could be helpful to some others too. Everyone is welcome to use it, and nothing planted within the circle will die, so if you'd like to add plants as memorials or dedications, you'll always be able to come back to them.

( Some more information: )

i can't wait to go explore the forest and talk to all of the animals there!!!

I've got something for you, when you get back.

Hello.

I know you can't answer requests for people to come, but there's a boy, Dion Warren, who would like his pet, if that's possible. It's a hermit crab called Pinchy. I've put a small tank in my bedroom to leave him in if you can do that for him.

Thank you.

I suppose this place isn't that bad. Turns out I have a lot of family here too which is nice.

Question though, do I have to go to Muggle school? I've never been.

Family + Friends

I'm so glad that this is electronic. I don't think I could use it if it was paper based.

This is exhausting. Does anyone else feel like we're gradually being worn down? Something even worse is going to turn up and we'll be fucked. At least the labyrinth had an end.

This note is vague yet informative. I am sorry to be here, though, rather than on the train back to Hogwarts for the first time in fifteen years. I was very much looking forward to being a professor.

Hello. I am Remus Lupin, and I would appreciate a map to show me the way to Ostrich Villa. A good rest will allow me to approach this with a fresh mind.

Okay, this is... not quite an unmitigated disaster yet but it might get there.

A lot of us are out here right now, but if we remember anything from this place, this might not be a one and done kind of rodeo. We should definitely look into conserving our energy and supplies, treat this like a marathon and not a sprint.

First thing is first, can we get a run down on who is out there? Names, if you know them, what they do. If you can give a general level of power too, it'll help us figure out who is the biggest threat.

• Grodd - mind control gorilla - threat level high - psychic immunity recommended
  
• Voldemort - wizard, dark magic - threat level extreme - unknown status - do not engage
  
• The Hand - ninjas, slippery bastards - threat level high - not unkillable, but really annoying to kill KEEP DRAGONS AWAY FROM THEM
  
• Starscream - decepticon robot transformer - threat level high - blatant disregard for humans/bystanders TRY ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE
  
• Hawk Moth - creates super villains - threat level moderate/serious - requires specialist defeat (magical yoyo?) contact Marinette
  

Our supplies aren't exactly limited, but depending on the injuries coming in, we'll need a resupply at some point, is there anyone who can work with the clinic to make sure we have medical supplies at all times? We might need a replenish of food at some point too.

HOME BASE

• Five & Ben - stocks and supplies - conference room
  
• Ned - eyes on the street - contact for directions/warnings
  
• Christine - medical - non-serious/non-life threatening wounds (life threatening/mortal CONTACT FOR MAGICAL ASSISTANCE)
  

I know that not everyone is ready to be out there, we're going to need people in the Villa to protect the kids that can't fight, the adults not made for it and everyone in between. So far, no one has breached the Villa, but that might change. I've stuck close so far, and I can get away and back fairly quickly, but are there some volunteers to stay with the Villa to protect everyone?

I feel like we should work this in shifts. Yes, these things are a threat, but if you're out fighting in the rain all day, you're not going to be at your best when evening rolls in, leaving yourself vulnerable isn't an option. So if you're out just now, patrolling for fighting, sound off. If you're prepared to go out later, let us know.

We need to be smart about this one people.

Anyone going after Voldemort, be careful.

He can and will kill you without thought or question, it only takes two words.

I don't think we can kill him. But we might be able to weaken him enough that he loses his body or goes in to hiding. I don't know if he has Death Eaters here but if he doesn't, if he's alone, he may run. But even if he does, he'll be back.

Anyone on the 8th floor, stay there or tell me where you are.
Is there anyone who can come help keep an eye on people up here?

So, now that someone has shown me how these things are meant to work, I should apologise for my less than graceful hello earlier.

I'm Neville Longbottom, seems like a lot of people know me but I don't recognise a lot too so, hello. Properly this time.

I'm apparently a guardian on the 8th floor and I'm still figuring out everything that that means but I've been head of house at a boarding school for a few years and I don't imagine it's too far off. So I'm around if anyone needs me?

..what the?

[there's a pause, some footsteps]

Oh, okay. That is a...very large bird. No one told me about birds. Or the Great Hall moving...

[louder]

Hagrid?! Was this you?

Is anyone here?
